The next morning, after breakfast I took a short stroll down through streets that were lined with designer shops and popular restaurants.
I made it down to the beach and spent my morning sunbathing on La Croisette, a long public stretch of sand running alongside Cannes’ seaside boardwalk.
In the afternoon, I was taken to the iconic Palais des Festivals which was home to the 15th edition of Les Plages Electroniques for the weekend.
The electronic music festival had returned after a two-year break due to the pandemic.
I was lucky enough to speak to one of the organisers who revealed that at the heart of the festival was a desire to host an event that the people of Cannes could enjoy just as much as visitors to the French Riviera.
